Upcoming Events

Cancer affects all aspects of a person's life. We are here to help patients with the financial aspect of cancer. Whether it be providing patients with food and transportation, or helping them pay an electric bill, Kelly's Dream does everything it can to help ease the financial strain of cancer.

Melanoma is a dangerous and scary type of skin cancer. Through our Check & Protect Program, we educate about the realities of melanoma, emphasizing that prevention and early detection are key. We are positive that through sharing our stories we can change the way people think about tanning beds and sun safety.

Donations and fundraising are what allows our foundation to exist and continue to run. Through generous donations and hosting fundraisers, we are able to financially help patients, as well as instill a sense of hope back into their live. We are dedicated to easing the human side of cancer. Kelly's Dream accepts donations from around the country.
